Brie Larson joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe on Friday thanks to Captain Marvel and is set to become the face of this shared world moving forward. However, proving that there's no real competition between Marvel Studios and its Distinguished Competition, the Oscar-winning actress has now revealed how Wonder Woman played a key role in her formative years.
"I grew up reading Wonder Woman comics," she revealed during a recent interview. "There was a series where she was fighting in Mount Olympus and then would get that work done in time to go back to Earth and do a book signing."
"And there was something about that dynamic that really stuck with me my whole life," she continued. "Like, ‘I want that!’ I want to be up in the clouds, and I also want to be down on Earth. I feel like that’s still who I am."
Larson has previously praised the Wonder Woman movie and it's interesting to hear how the character's comic book adventures may have ultimately played a role in her decision to take on the role of Captain Marvel on the big screen. This also shows that despite what some fans say, there's room for both of these female heroes on the big screen.
